A personal 360° view of applications of ‘biomimetic’ molecular recognition
Abstract Molecular recognition between biological molecules has formed the basis for innumerable applications in biotechnology for the last seven decades or so. Techniques such as affinity chromatography, solid‐phase and aqueous two‐phase extraction, affinity precipitation, biomimetic catalytic systems, biosensors and molecular imprinting all exploit ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Spectrophotometric analysis of thrombolytic activity: SATA assay [PDF]
Introduction: Measurement of thrombolytic activity i.e. clot lysis is crucial for research and development of novel thrombolytics. It is also a key factor in assessment of the effectiveness of conventionally used thrombolytic agents in the clinic, which ...

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives While tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces blood loss in orthopedic surgery, thromboembolic concerns in cancer patients have limited adoption in orthopedic oncology. This study evaluated TXA efficacy and safety in patients undergoing endoprosthetic reconstruction for oncologic indications.

The transcriptional regulation of maspin : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Maspin (mammary serine protease inhibitor) is a tumour suppressing member of the serpin superfamily. Maspin is expressed in normal breast and prostate cells, but reportedly down regulated during progression of cancer in these tissues.

Pericellular activation of hepatocyte growth factor by the transmembrane serine proteases matriptase and hepsin, but not by the membrane-associated protease uPA [PDF]
HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine homologous to the serine protease zymogen plasminogen that requires canonical proteolytic cleavage to gain functional activity.

Identification of a novel regulatory mechanism for the disease associated protein, uPAR [PDF]
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), as determined through a series of statistical association studies collectively known as genome-wide association (GWA) studies, have provided us with a hypothesis free approach for the investigation into ...

Associations of C-reactive protein with measures of obesity, insulin resistance, and subclinical atherosclerosis in healthy, middle-aged women [PDF]
Obesity, the insulin resistance syndrome, and atherosclerosis are closely linked and may all be determinants of an increased acute-phase response.
